I think were forgetting one important point here. Gasoline is a generic term for a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules with lengths from 6 to 11 carbons (I think; it may be 7 to 12 or 6 to 11, whatever). If you have a device - and I don't think a little magnet would do it - that can break the bonds, you would be creating chains of smaller lenghts, and it would not be gasoline anymore.
You wouldn't really spend $100 for a magnet would you? |

WoooooooooW, that's more than an attack, it's termination !!! TERMINATOR IV !!! I managed to make a deal with the guy installing the device in my car for free, if I see good results out of it, I would pay him after 3 months, if not I would give him it back... sounds good to me, I wanna thank you all guys for the feedback you gave me, now speaking of Octane, in Lebanon we have 92 Oct, 95 (unleaded) Oct and 98 Octane. I spoke to longass concerning the V4 chip and its use on 87 Octane fuel, he told me that the measurements of "Octane" differs from country to country... how can I know which Octane to use with the V4 chip? and concerning the Magnet, "I'LL BE BACK" with the results...after a while...

I thought leaded gasoline was a thing of the past. Guess not.
Lead was (is?) used as an "octane" booster (leaded gas explodes at a higher temperature than unleaded gas with the same octane composition) and to lubricate valve seats. If your car has modern heads (and it does) you don't need to use leaded gas. In addition, if your car has catalytic converters (and I assume it does) don't use leaded gas, it will quickly destroy them. |

The site refers to PON. This is RON + MON /2 and the rating the US uses for fuel pumps.

Fuel consumption
If you put leaded thru a cat exhaust system you can say bye bye to the cat, the lead messes up the efficiency of the precious metals in it, meaning; It does'nt work anymore!

IIRC, you stated your car had been imported from another country when you bought right? What are the gas ratings in the country it came from? (I mean is the country it came from super gas, leaded or unleaded?) Also if our 87 is your 92, then our 92/3 (depending on the station) would you 95. Stations here call the 92/3 Super, so it might be better for you to use it then the 98 leaded.

I have no idea where these models were sold, but it would be in the type of country that Danny is in. These models could take leaded or unleaded fuel. Our fuel rating in Aust. is the same as you have over there. We have 92, 95, 98 octain unleaded, and 96 octain leaded, all are RON. I have asked before for you to check, what is written on the fuse box under the hood, the bottom right side fuse, is it "FWD" or is it "Diff lock". This will help in deciding which model you have.
